Description Changes the current working directory on the remote FTP server. Once this step is executed, all subsequent FTP calls that do not use an absolute path will use this new working directory as the relative path.	FTP Change Directory dialog

Parameters

Directory Name
Specify the name of the folder to change to. Unisyn suggests using the UNIX FTP format (using forward slashes instead of backward slashes for directories) for maximum compatibility with the widest range of public FTP servers.

Notes

The step is especially useful when logging onto an FTP server with a complicated directory structure. For example, if all the files you need to access were in the path /usr/me/docs/html/mywebsite, you could first issue an FTP Change Directory action, and from that point forward, use just the proper filenames relative to this path. AutoMate™ will automatically place the proper /usr/me/docs/html/mywebsite path in front of the files you specify in subsequent FTP steps.

The step will fail if it cannot issue the FTP CD command, which usually occurs if a valid FTP session has not been established using the FTP Login step.
